Photolytic Destruction Technology demonstration, NAS North Island, Site 9. Final contract report, October 1997--February 1998
The Photolytic Destruction Technology was chosen for demonstration, as part of the Navy Environmental Leadership Program (NELP), at Naval Air Station (NAS) North Island`s Site 9 soil vapor extraction (SVE) system. The demonstration was conducted, under contract N47408-97-C-0215 through Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center`s Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) program, to Process Technologies Incorporated (PTI), beginning October 7, 1997 and ending February 12, 1998, for 128 days. The literature search, demonstration oversight, and evaluation were funded by the Pollution Abatement Ashore Program managed by Naval Facilities Engineering Command and sponsored by the Environmental Protection, Safety and Occupational Health Division (N45) of the Chief of Naval Operations. The system was installed to treat a slip stream containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the operating SVE system already installed at the site. The goal of this demonstration was to obtain the necessary cost and performance data, including the lessons learned, on the system comprising of a concentrator, condenser, and photolytic destruction unit (PDU), for comparison with other treatment technologies. The system was demonstrated on air stream contaminated with halogenated and non-halogenated VOCs such as l,2- dichloroethene, trichloroethene, tetrachloroethene, toluene, and octane. The test results indicated that the system was effective in removing VOCs in thc SVE off-gas to below the maximum allowable emissions of 25 parts per million by volume. The average total DRE achieved for VOCs was 95.44% whereas the PDU alone demonstrated an overall DRE of 97%. The estimated unit cost to treat SVE off-gas at NAS North Island`s Site 9, for a 3,000 standard cubic feet per minute PTI system, is $3.77 per pound of VOC treated.
